Although it doesnt look like it, I have put on some muscle mass. However, my weight has maintained at around 175-176 lbs. As for the body fat percentages, I'm assuming they're off. The guy at the gym uses that electronic one, and i'm not sure how accurate they really are.

any advice at ALL would be much appreciated I've been keeping this new routine up for ~5 months...the 1st 5 months, I just worked out once a day. I jsut can't seem to get rid of the fat.....

caliper readings may be especially inaccurate on you because you appear to really store an excessive amount of fat in the midsection. I'd guess both #'s are about 5% low. But you do appear to be making progress with the fat loss.

Are you saying that you are doing cardio M-F for an hour and then hitting the weights M-F for an hour?

That seems a bit much to me.

I would look through the routines sticky at the top of the forum but a three day split of weights with a light cardio warm-up and cardo(perhaps HIIT) on the other days would probably do more to help you put on muscle and lose weight.

Overall you're looking better but it seems like you should have a little more muscle mass after 10 months.

that's right.....in fact, i'm about to head out to run right now..and it's 5:30 am

you have put on muscle and it shows... you have lost fat and it shows... time to step it up now and count your calories... make sure you get a decent amount of protein 1-1.5g per pound of bodyweight while eating fewer calories. You'll lose weight and maintain your muscle mass.

thanks, but...

elfling's comment got me a bit concerned.

have i really been slowing myself down by hitting it hard for 5-6x a week? will 3-4x be sufficient?
